Are their any countries trying to develop technology to fix the issue of drone swarms well and truly? It seems like as of now Modern SHORAD, even the best of them like Iron dome and Skynex are still vulnerable to low and slow flying kamikaze drones...This is how I see it:>Missiles are expensive and limited>Bullets do not have enough range or precision>EW isn't completely reliableHow would any military stop them from eventually getting through!?
>>61979383we need a german Flak88 with manpads and microwaves glued onto itis that cost effective enough?
>>61979420No, we need a 80 ton tank with a 155mm autoloading cannon for long range and two 40mm point defence bofors
>>61979439and a 50 cal for point point defence
>>61979439>a future where artillery weapons also operate as an air defence battery
>>61979455>>61979439it already exists
>>61979383High caliber airburst shells would make short work of any drone swarm.
>>61979383How did we deal with enemy aircraft? By having our own aircraft intercept them. No, SAMs were only the last line of defence. Similarly, we need drones to intercept enemy drones, preferably far from their targets.
>>61979455You will live to see the development of counter-counter battery fire.
>>61979383You're now aware of CHAMP, MORPHIUS and Epirus.
>>61979823>HARM Guided 155mmWhy is this not a thing?
>>61981899Too small and not maneuverable enough. On the other hand, anti-ratiation missiles have seen service on the surface launchers, those include the naval RIM-8 Talos from Vietnam era and the Standard ARM that Israelis mounted on ground vehicles in the late 70s.
>>61979383Here's your solution, bro. Now tell me, am I retarded as fuck or am I on to something?
>>61979473Germany is making SupCom real, god bless them. Literally just need to add a shell cam and it becomes a Lobo.
>>61979383You counter them with bigger and meaner aircraft. Literally anything manned can outfight a drone in the skies, even a helicopter that otherwise has no business in a dogfight.
>>61983633Leaf screens in front of every poi sounds expensive, thats a lot of fans to keep the leaves alof
>>61979383Lol. Himars but with high density shotshell. 12 gauge but on steroids compatible with rotary cannons. But cheaper to produce in theory. >Counter the swarm of bees with angrier smaller bees.
>>61979383Just put AI-controlled AA machinegun turrets everywhere, firing bird shot rounds.It'll clap the drones easily enough, and the pigeons too.
>>61979420Have you heard about the flakpanzer gepard? It’s one of my favorite assault guns in Wargame: Red dragon. Apparently it’s supposed to be an AA gun or something, have to do some more research tho.
>>61983901How about mosquitos?
